Keeping Cows for Profit.

An English farmer makes the follow
ing valuable suggestions in regard to
keeping cows for profit:
Roughly speaking, then, $50 may
be considered as the profit on COW
for one year for an ordinary managed
dairy. 1t does not seem much, but is,
no doubt, far in excess OF the averages
still there seems no reason why it may
not be reached by more liberal feeding
on the part OF our small COW keepers
The mistake on the part OF the latter
appears to be In trying to keep too
many inferior animals instead OF
we'll. ii we take half u dozen
cows well cared for, q profit ofat least
$3.50 q year will be easily secured,
whereas dozen unfed, neglected
beasts, instead of making $500, will
be far more likely to lose this sum. A
well known writer reckoned that
about one-twelfth OF our milk went to
rearing and fatuening calves, and
have reason to believe that the prac-
tice OF rearing is more common
among the small cow-keepers, and
this may partly account for the large
number OF third-rate stock in the
country. 1t stands to reason that
successful breeding and rearing OF
dairy stock requires great Judgment,
care, and perseverance, beside knowl-
edge and discrimination OF particu-
lar Municipalities which are seldom
met with combined. Therefore it were
better if this office were lett to the few
who are capable OF understanding it,
rather than to the many who are

THO Growing ,Jerseys

The complaint that Jersey cattle
are small will soon die out, if no more
importations be made. The Jerseys
descended from the early importp-
tions have increased very much In
size. The Carolines, an old family,
first imported in 1868, are larger than
the average native cows, and there ls
a marked increase in the size OF other
families. All this is natural, as the
food is limited on the Jersey Islands,
and by the tethering system prac-
tised there cattle will not eat the
grass they run over until forced to
by hunger. With more extended
range and more bountiful food they
expand in bone and muscle, and hence
the frames are larger and the quarters
fuller. The old deer-like appearance
is not so popular now as the evi-
dences OF q large udder and plenty of

ly follow. The Jersey has thin skin;
MS this goes with good cream record,
on this account she ought not to be
exposed to the cold any more than is
necessary. If the Jerseys become mis-
sionaries in the way OF better care for
cattle. it will be good thing. The
man who finds fault with them be-
cause they cannot stand the exposure
common cattle endure, confesses that
he is lacking in sense and humanity.

How Rome Was Founded and
Built.

Prof. Lanciani, director of the ex-
cavations ut Rome, said in recent
lecture that those who had not seen
Rome since 1870 could have little
idea OF the great number of public
works and improvements which had
since Shat time been introduced.
There We're 121 new streets, 143 miles
OF drains, 5000 additional houses,
while Sl4O,OO0,OO0 had been spent
on works for public welfare and con-
venience. In excavations 296,OOO,-
600 cubic feet OF earth had been up
turned, and works OF art OF the great
est value had been brought to light,
together with 142 marble and bronze
statues in good condition, 200 in
jured ones, 1872 bas reliefs, with 1000
objects in terra Gotta, as many in
scriptions, and 10000 gold, silver,
and bronze coins. These discoveries
had thrown more light on Roman art
and archaeology than century before
had done. The theory had been ad-
vanced that new Etruscan city had
been discovered in the ground occu.
pied by Rome, and this would upset
former IDEAS OF Roman history and
traditions. The excavations proved
the fallacy OF any such theory and
showed concusiyely that Rome had
been founded by a colony OF Alban
shepherds. Remains OF the cemetery
OF Alba Longa had been discovered,
with the dwellings of the inhabitants
OF that place surrounding it. Alba
Longa had probably been overcrowd-
ed and her shepherds had colonized a
"city by the river"-which was the
meaning OF "Roma," while Romulus
simply meant 1.-The man OF the city by
the river"-subsequently called the
Tiber. The excavations proved that
Rome was founded by such colony.
and that it occurred in an age OF pol
ished stone.
